Some things do not help when learning English.
Like most human, we are lazy, and always busy with daily tasks and obligations.
Because of these, among many other things, your English improvement finds a lot of difficulties before you reach a good level.
Luckily, there are daily habits that can help you to improve your English faster…
Let’s See If It Rings A Bell…
While doing a daily task, a doubt or idea about English crosses your mind. Since you are busy doing something else, you do not take the time to write down your doubts or ideas to check them later.
Afterwards, you don’t remember anymore your ideas or doubts.
Then you have lost a great chance to improve your English.
This same situation, one time after another, means losing a lot of good opportunities to learn English.
What Did I Do to Improve My English
The previous situation happened to me a lot of times. I lost interesting ideas or doubts about English because when they came to my mind, I was busy doing something else and did not take the time to write them down.
To stop this situation, I started to use a notebook that I kept with me all the time. I wrote down anything that came into my mind that I would check later when not busy anymore.
Afterwards, at night, on weekends, or just when I had some free time, I took my notebook and checked all my doubts and ideas and worked with them.
Sometime after, I even changed my notebook and pencil for a voice recording app on my cell phone that I still use nowadays.
This strategy can seem trivial to you or just not really necessary. But without using it, I can assure you that you are losing a lot of great opportunities to improve your English.
How Can You Help To Improve Your English
I suggest you try this strategy for some time and then decide by yourself if it’s really useful or not.
I bet that you will be surprised at how many opportunities you lost in the past to improve your English.
What to do?
Try to have with you all the time a notebook or a recording device like your cell phone, MP3 player, tablet…
Gather your doubts, questions and ideas in your notebook or recording device.
Then check them whenever you like or can
When?
Every night
On weekends
Whenever you have some free time
Important note: Always try to write or record your ideas or doubts clearly and extensively. If not, when you check them later, it will be impossible to understand what you wrote down or recorded in a rush.
